Focusing on simplicity, modernity and well-being, ibis Hotels is setting new trends in the meetings market with the launch of _SPACE by ibis.

Continuing the ibis brand revolution, the new meeting room and office concept is available at 20 of its UK hotels.

Offering creative spaces for a few hours or a whole day, ibis has removed the hassle and clutter from its event areas, meaning its new offering focuses on the important things people really need.

The concept also addresses the growing requirement for flexible working spaces, as many in the UK workforce receive greater freedom to work where they want.

James Wheatcroft, marketing director, budget and economy brands UK & IRE commented: “Where simple meets savvy, this is our vision for _SPACE by ibis.

“The UK workspace is changing and our flexible office and meeting room spaces offer an ideal place to conduct business.

“We ensure the basics are done well, but also go that extra mile by offering the very best service.”

Booking a room is straightforward, easy and can be done directly over the phone or online.

As standard all spaces include unlimited tea and Nespresso, unlimited WIFI, thorough setup, no hidden charges and no kick out time.

AV support is also provided for meetings, from setting up Skype calls to the in-built projector screens to ease connectivity.

ibis has introduced a new culinary offering with a simple, fresh and tasty menu.

The day delegate package includes a selection of beautiful filled artisan breads or salad lunch, and can be upgraded to a hot-lunch on request.

Those planning a working lunch can choose to have it delivered to their meeting room on an airline trolley, or head down to the restaurant for a change of scenery.
